See live voice sounder demonstrations at the Hochiki stand
Hochiki Europe will exhibit at The Fire Safety Event 2026 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham from 28 to 30 April.
The manufacturer is the Innovation Theatre sponsor and will use stand E97 to showcase new products and systems.
Visitors can view the new FIREscape Nepto black range for the first time during the three day exhibition.
The stand features a live voice sounder demonstration and the company water leak detection range.
Specifiers and installers have the opportunity to see these systems performing in a practical setting.
The company is also introducing a new modular exhibition stand built with a lightweight aluminium frame and PVC-free graphics.
This reusable structure is designed to last for over 300 events across a 15-year lifespan.
Expert sessions on fire safety and water leak risks
Martin Green, Commercial Training and Support Manager at Hochiki Europe, will deliver three educational sessions in the Innovation Theatre.
The first session on Tuesday 28 April covers fire detection system compliance and the EN54 standard for building owners.
A second presentation on Wednesday 29 April focuses on reducing water damage risks to businesses in the United Kingdom.
The final session on Thursday 30 April provides a guide to fire safety in complex built environments.
Green said: “The sessions I’m delivering at the Fire Safety Event this year cover topics that matter to a huge range of people not only working directly in the fire industry, but also across multiple sectors right now.
“The seminar format gives us the chance to go deeper than we can in other settings, then continue those conversations face to face both on the stand and out in the wider world.”
Shinsuke Kubo, Managing Director of Hochiki Europe, said: “The Fire Safety Event is one of the most important dates in our calendar and has been for a number of years.
“What makes it valuable is the quality of the people in the room.
“Specifiers, installers, consultants and building owners, all focused on the same thing.
“This year we are bringing new products, live demonstrations and a full programme of talks, but what we value most is the time we get to spend with customers and industry peers in the room.
“Understanding what they are working through, what is shaping the market right now and what they need from us.
“We come away every year with a clearer picture of where the industry is heading, that comes from the time spent face to face with the people who are navigating the same challenges every day.
“The fire safety sector is moving quickly and events like this are where you feel that progress most directly.”
The event is open from 10:00 to 16:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday, and closes at 15:30 on Thursday.
